Tree Sap and Poor Results Cabot on Cedar Deck

About 3 years ago I built a cedar deck and treated with Cabots Natural Timer Oil. I did this in the fall then lightly powerwashed and reapplied in the spring to freshen it a bit since my coverage was light in some spots looked fantastic.....then late summer hit....sap city from the pine trees in my yard. Deck looked horrible....company was visiting so I made some futile and poor attempts to power wash, scrub...started to peal. Just horrible. I think my coverage became too heavy. I have now removed 85% via powerwasher only. I have read many of the threads pro/con different brands. Anyone experience this....I'm leary to reapply Cabot's though I hear little about their product being poor....just don't want to buy something worse! As well I don't want to buy something incompatible with any residual Cabot's I can't remove.....Help.....
